Canon G2 a serious camera for the amateur
Review of Canon PowerShot G2 by yorkshireman

Advantages: Image quality, good build quality
Disadvantages: a little pricey

...build quality, everything about the Canon feels quality. Despite not being one which you can slip in your pocket the size is much less than some 35mm cameras. It is packed with features from in-camera assistance in creating panorama images which can be "stitched" together with the supplied software to manual overide on the shutter speed and exposure settings. (this is very useful for night shots where lights usually cause awful glare with digital ...
...can be viewed on the Canon Site. The battery life from the rechargeable battery is very good though I would advise getting a spare battery as back up. One interesting point when I popped into a well known High Street photography shop to view the new G3 when it came out and found it selling less than the G2. Asking the shop assistant why I was told that the "feel" quality of the G3 is poor compared to the G2 and when Customers notice this they will ... Read review

Review of Canon PowerShot G2 by ciaotoday

Advantages: Image quality, camera features, lens quality
Disadvantages: Heavier & bigger than some, price

...time. Previously I owned a Canon AF1 and then my first digital an early HP model. I am not going back. So why do I think the G2 is great? Well here goes a short list of what I like (if you want the featuress it offers - visit the Canon website):- - the image quality is stunning - well balanced in almost all lighting conditions - the zoom is flexible enough for most shots - supported by 6cm close ups (think a rose) and multishot panoramic capability ...
...great and can be twisted so you can see to snap yourself if noone else is at the Grand canyon when you get there (some chance) - it does not east batteries with every shot but has it's own rechnargeable - mine manages over 200 shots before suggesting a little recharge - if and when I want to try and be clever, the camera has such a wealth of fearues and trips up its sleeve - there is always something you can do to get a brilliant shot. | just wish ...

Power Shot G2 pro camera, realistic price
Review of Canon PowerShot G2 by Martinscholes

Advantages: Easy to use, robust
Disadvantages: Might not be easy to find on sale

I love the Canon Power Shot G2 camera that I use in my working life as a journalist/photographer. It is robust and strong, and is ideal for the busy professional who needs to take quality images quickly. There are many features on this camera, macro feature and everything else you would expect from a camera of this type. However, there is something you will not find, a digital zoom. The zoom on the Canon is an optical zoom and this means that ...
...not the case with the Canon Power Shot G2. The image screen shows you exactly what the image will be and the screen can be put in a number of different positions for ease of operator use. The screen also has a “safe” position to ensure that any potential damage to it during storage is minimised dramatically. The camera is not very light, but then neither is it too heavy, either. The battery life is reasonable and you can get a great many shots in-between ... Read review

Canon get it right
Review of Canon PowerShot G2 by Jambo107

Advantages: Performance - image quality - ergonomics
Disadvantages: Hard to get!

...reviews I read of the Canon Powershot G2 said that Canon had learned vital lessons from the G1 and other models, and that the G2 was outstanding. So - heart in mouth - I bought one. And? Image quality is as near faultless as I can want - way better than the best scan I could make of the best print. Colour and white balance are flawless (or as near as I can see to perfect). The gadget takes a 1MB IBM microdrive - not as an unapproved add-on but ...
...than useful". NOT the G2. Canon have devised a system so straightforward that I only needed the manual to find ONE facility (and that obscure). The rest were a logical click away! Linking the camera to my PC was simplicity, and the bundled software let me work DIRECTLY on the RAW images and save them as TIFFs. I had been nervous of this beforehand but it worked exactly as you would hope! Product quality / bundled software quality / image quality ... Read review

Manufacturer's product description

Offering the highest image quality in its class, the PowerShot G2 utilizes the latest 4-megapixel CCD to capture pin sharp pictures with every click of the shutter. With a high-resolution 3X optical zoom lens, reduced shutter interval, completely lossless RAW image recording mode and new Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and RGB filter, the PowerShot G2 is a new photographic industry benchmark. The powerful PowerShot G2 was designed for truly creative digital photographers who demand precision image capture management. Three Auto-focus modes including continuous, single and 3 selectable AF points with 12 shooting modes (including Program AE, Shutter priority AE, Aperture priority AE and fully manual exposure control) means the G2 can always deliver exactly what a photographer requires. Advanced image capture controls include a histogram exposure graph for image evaluation (as seen on the Canon EOS D30) that allows the photographer to see if an image is correctly exposed. Early indication of excess light or darkness allows exposure settings to be changed to obtain an optimal result. The histogram is displayed on the G2's vari-angle LCD monitor that twists and swivels to provide the most convenient viewing angle and adds flexibility when shooting in difficult or awkward situations. Development didn't stop there. The PowerShot G2 uses much less power than its predecessors, which means a lot more pictures from a single battery charge. Canon engineering gives a user more flexibility to take high-quality pictures whenever and wherever they want without worrying about running low on power. The versatility of the PowerShot G2 is enhanced by a comprehensive range of optional system accessories including Canon's full range of Speedlite EX flashguns making it possible to capture images in extreme low-light conditions. For low light close-ups the G2 supports Canon's Macro Ring Light (MR- 14EX) that can be fitted over a 250D close-up lens. For long distance work, a powerful 153mm tele-converter brings a subject right into the camera while a 27.2mm wide-angle converter makes it easy to grab those wrap-around wide-angle shots. All PowerShot G2 lens converters are compatible with the standard 3.6x step-less digital zoom. This means that high-quality images can be captured at any stage of the zoom process. Nothing but the best from the world's most technologically advanced camera manufacturer!
